Answer:
b. Invalid, because the sample may not be representative of the population.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sample of around 10% of the population is needed to be representative.
In this question:
We have a population of 500,000, and a sample of 10,000.
10,000/500,000 = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2% of the population, so not representative, and option b is correct.
Answer:
The values of x for which the model is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function for the volume of the shipping box is given as follows;
V = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x
The function will make sense when V ≥ 0, which is given as follows
When V = 0, x = 0
Which gives;
0 = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x
0 = 2·x² - 19·x + 39
0 = x² - 9.5·x + 19.5
From an hint obtained by plotting the function, we have;
0 = (x - 3)·(x - 6.5)
We check for the local maximum as follows;
dV/dx = d(2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x)/dx = 0
6·x² - 38·x + 39 = 0
x² - 19/3·x + 6.5 = 0
x = (19/3 ±√((19/3)² - 4 × 1 × 6.5))/2
∴ x = 1.288, or 5.045
At x = 1.288, we have;
V = 2·1.288³ - 19·1.288² + 39·1.288 ≈ 22.99
V ≈ 22.99 in.³
When x = 5.045, we have;
V = 2·5.045³ - 19·5.045² + 39·5.045≈ -30.023
Therefore;
V > 0 for 0 < x < 3 and V < 0 for 3 < x < 6.5
The values of x for which the model makes sense and V ≥ 0 is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.
Answer:
must be greater than 7
Step-by-step explanation:
using pythagoras theorem
a^2=b^2-c^2
x^2=15^2-12^2
x^2=225-144
x^2=81
take square root both sides
√x^2=√81
x=9
and 9 is greater than 7
The answer is 1.52 to your question.
